Sorry but I'm not overly impressed with the images, I hope it is better ingame.

The explosions are all a plain yellowee / orange with a basic orange outline throughout and the projectiles all look the same. The ship engines are all same texture yellow or white with no afterburner effect or trail, doesn't appear to be any heat distortion on the galaxy or ships behind engines. Stars all look the same size but with slight reduced / increased lighting / glare. Your joking on the 2nd image right? Sure can tell an x-renegader made this level. Hmmm 3rd image ya have guys standing by an explosion and don't appear to be thrown back or anything, mabe they are drinking tea.

Well....don't wake me when they release it :rolleyes:

You all forget that those screenshots are all pre-alpha (if I'm not mistaken); even the name isn't final yet.

Give them some time.

They're still months from having a release, and it is nowhere near complete.
Don't judge the game by how it looks now; give it a few more months, and judge it by any screenshots that will have been released by that time.

Heat distortion is apparent in any environment

Exactly...

Heat distortion is what you see over a fire or a street on a hot summer day, etc., it's caused by hot air rising, and distorting the light that passes through it. Since there is no air, or any environment at all in space, there would be no heat distortion.

You forgot that this is an RTS game and that not everything is going to be perfect detail and have extraordinary physics like Half-Life 2. Please play an RTS game so you know what it's like.

I shall wait and see for any improvements Smile Not gonna put it down too bad, I have seen worse Smile so I'll be patient Cool

On the heat distortion in space you’re still thinking - because it's not oxygenated distortions it can't happen....incorrect. With nothing in space and an abundance of alternate power sources of propulsion for space (heat related) there will be heated radiation in its wake, you still have force; though it may be a little or a lot depending on the size of thrust, this trail of force will distort any point of view. However light will also cause an increase in ambience when a large amount of thrust is initiated, even in space. Let’s just say you don't want to be behind a ship when it engages engines Laughing

I am only pointing out that in the above picture given the size of the ships and their engines that nothing behind them should be in focus or even visible at all Smile

That isn't the original C&C team at all, maybe one or two people are, but most aren't. Star Wars still sucks and I will not be buying this game to feed Lucas' further skull fucking of a dead movie series that sucked ass since the day it was made.


Hmmm....
From first C&C:
Joe Bostic
Mike Legg
Steve Tall
Ellie Arabian
Frank Klepacki
Ted Morris
Jason Curtice
Pat Pannullo

From later times:
Gary Cox (since TS)
Greg Hjelstrom (since Red Alert)
Bret Ambrose (TS)

All these names were taken from a group photograph of the Petroglyph staff from months ago.

So ummm... care to rephrase your stance on the matter?

Opinions are never wrong, that's why they're opinions. What he said may have been wrong, but his opinions aren't.

It's an inside joke with the Planet C&C people, you obviously don't understand so why bother responding?

Petroglyph Games Web Site

As of today, STAR WARS: EMPIRE AT WAR is the #1 game players are talking about at GameSpot. In addition to a wealth of new screenshots (those aren't doctored, btw), you can watch LucasArts producer Brett Tosti and Petroglyph lead programmer Mike Legg talk about some of the features that will be making their way into the game in an exclusive interview

I think so to. Shocked

That farm looks so sick with the windmill in the middle. Also look at the water, it is refracting objects from around it, and underneath, mainly along the shore..

But most of all the ground detail is immaculate, the grasses are marsh reeds along the shore look very realistic.

They didn't edit the images, so what? It still looks like a cartoon, and even worse is the fact that those "explosions" look as if they were taken directly out of Renegade. They look like crap and you can easily see each individual particle in the emitter system.
